http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/strtoimax.3.html contains: intmax_t strtoimax(const char *nptr, char **endptr, int base); uintmax_t strtoumax(const char *nptr, char **endptr, int base); However the correct prototypes according to the C99 and C11 standards are: intmax_t strtoimax(const char * restrict nptr, char ** restrict endptr, int base); uintmax_t strtoumax(const char * restrict nptr, char ** restrict endptr, int base); i.e. the "restrict" is missing for all pointers. This seems to be an error only in the man page. The glibc 2.19 manual gives the correct prototypes: -- Function: intmax_t strtoimax (const char *restrict STRING, char **restrict TAILPTR, int BASE) -- Function: uintmax_t strtoumax (const char *restrict STRING, char **restrict TAILPTR, int BASE) and /usr/include/inttypes.h is correct too: extern intmax_t strtoimax (const char *__restrict __nptr, char **__restrict __endptr, int __base) __THROW; extern uintmax_t strtoumax (const char *__restrict __nptr, char ** __restrict __endptr, int __base) __THROW; Similarly, http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/wcstoimax.3.html contains: intmax_t wcstoimax(const wchar_t *nptr, wchar_t **endptr, int base); uintmax_t wcstoumax(const wchar_t *nptr, wchar_t **endptr, int base); while it should be: intmax_t wcstoimax(const wchar_t * restrict nptr, wchar_t ** restrict endptr, int base); uintmax_t wcstoumax(const wchar_t * restrict nptr, wchar_t ** restrict endptr, int base); Ditto for some prototypes in: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/strtod.3.html http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/strtol.3.html http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/strtoul.3.html http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/mbtowc.3.html http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/mbstowcs.3.html http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/wcstombs.3.html http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/memcpy.3.html http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/strcpy.3.html http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/strcat.3.html http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/printf.3.html http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/scanf.3.html etc. Ditto for (this time POSIX only): http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/realpath.3.html -- Vincent Lefèvre <vincent@xxxxxxxxxx> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
